isobel dalhousie




our first strawberries. celeste & i made these biccys & the chocolate caramel fingers yesterday for school lunches. i've just finished another alexander maccall book 'the lost art of gratitude', i really enjoy reading this series, it's so entertaining & i like to ponder the main character isobel's philosophical thoughts.
'something to do with beauty. yes, she thought, that was one way of expressing it. moral beauty existed as clearly as any other form of beauty and perhaps that was were we would find the god who was so vividly, and sometimes bizarrely, described in our noisey religious explanations. it was an intriguing thought, as it meant that a concert could be a spiritual experience, a secular painting a religious icon, a beguiling face a passing angel.'
